Dear Mr Leerdam,

RE: IRVING

Please find attached the advice
of German counsel concerning the three questions you have
raised.

As you can see, the decision of the Supreme State
Court of Bavaria to dismiss Irving's appeal, means that
his conviction remains final and binding. Also, any
further appeal to the Federal or Bavarian State
Constitutional Court has no suspensive effect.

Your further question in your fax of 20 April has been
put to German counsel and I expect a reply within 24
hours.
